The Watch Thread - Part 12

[furryballs]

In pristine condition compared to the Calatrava lol

Got pict of your PP's scuffs?

Nice. I'd like to have a Day-date once I'm old enough to pull it off without looking like I backhand hookers for a living.

DD in white gold (or is it plat?) still okay.... the yellow gold one is fierce

those are people who are too rich and too bored.

they won't look at cheap entry rolex models.

just illustrating different strokes for different folks.

even some seiko dive watch owners swap their clasp for the mm300 clasp cos they love the on-the-fly adjustment. i won't be surprised some rolex owners swap their clasp for the glidelock clasp for the same reason.

Seriously ? I thought you have one ?

I'm thinking of buying one for my gf lol

It's actually rose gold and I've managed to cut back from daily use to once/twice a week.

oic. must be the lighting.

you must really love your calatrava to wear it daily.

单单黄金金的不够，还要＂亮钻钻＂的才够＂给力＂，布玲布玲的！

I bought the MM300 clasp for my Shogun; loved it. Then I bought an actual MM300 and I couldn't handle the clasp.

Anyway, the clasp on the OP is pretty much perfect. Glidelock is great but it would be far too bulky on the OP. One of the "benefits" of having the MM300 clasp on a watch like the Shogun was that it added some much needed weight to a very light titanium watch.

It was a habitual thing, and I was (and still am) so used to it on my wrist nothing else felt right for a long period of time.

Hi! Wanna check how much will it cost for servicing a Tudor black Bay with eta movement.

Got offered 3k (2013, no warranty) and 3.4k (2016, with warranty). Both are supposedly mint condition.

Any expert can tell me if it's worth spending that extra 400 dollars! Kamxia daigors!

Speaking abt scratches & dents, at what point do u guys notice them on ur watches?
1 week after wear? 2 months? Or after several years still manage to look pristine?
I'm referring to ur beloved watches not ur daily beaters.

depends on how OCD you are, bro redtrooper. "safe queens" exist for a reason. also there're syndicates that pool funds to speculate in "investment-grade" watches like double-red SDs, paul newman daytonas, etc. you can bet these don't get worn to acquire anymore scratches than the ones that are already on them as they sit in some climate-controlled safes.

如果我没记错的话，2016开始賣出的＂挑多＂应该有五年保修期吧？
